Became a featured teacher resources author on the Times Educational Supplement (TES link on photo) blog. Very pleased to be recognized this way as I’ve put a lot of work into creating the movies and images for these over the past couple of years. Most of my comic book and multi-media resources are made using Moviestorm.

All of my resources are for middle school students studying English literature, history or social studies. I sell in the UK on my TES store and in the USA on my TeachersPayTeachers store for between $3~$6, depending on the resource. If you are interested in purchasing, please check out my two stores;

Like this:

The second in a series of short animated movies with attached learning materials to provide an introduction to the classic novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. This movie is based on the Letters from Captain Walton section that provides the introduction to the story. It covers a core curriculum need in literature classes to evaluate content presented in diverse media formats including visually and aurally. This product is an engaging way of reaching this standard.

The link below will take you to a PDF comic version of a part of the Letters section of the book.

I have recently started selling lessons and materials connected with my videos on the website TeachersPayTeachers. If you are interested in this lesson as an ESL or Social Studies resource, please view my store by clicking on the link below.

Second in the Pocket History series. The incredible survival story of Ernest Shackleton and his 27 crew stranded on the Antarctic ice for 2 years after the crushing of their ship, Endurance. This video is based on journals from the expedition written at the time of the abandonment of the vessel, and takes the form of four diary entries outlining life in the Antarctic and being set adrift on the ice. It is intended for education purposes and is meant to supplement the reading of a book about the heroic adventure.

I have recently started selling lessons and materials connected with my videos on the website TeachersPayTeachers. The lesson for this consists of a listening quiz, vocabulary exercise, reading and writing extension materials and a graphic comic.

A new series I am creating for students of ESL and or literature, introducing classic stories in a short machinima movie. They will mostly consist of key scenes from the book put into movie form and will occasionally introduce the author and the process which leads to the creation of the story.

This first one is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and contains the story of the genesis of the book and one key scene from the movie. In this case the scene of the Monsters awakening.

The links below will take you to PDF comic versions of the Monster’s Awakening scene from the movie and also a part of Victor’s story..

It’s November 5th and the night is full of fire and explosions, but no problems. This is the annual British event called ‘Bonfire Night’. So what’s the story behind the pyrotechnics? Well, we have to go back to the time of King James 1 in the 17th Century to find out.
